I am home now from Nicaragua. I went for 10 days with 17 members of my family. The town where I went is very poor, there are no cars in the village, only horses, but the horses are much smaller than the ones you know. My niece, Moxie, who lives in Wyoming, was with us. She loves to ride horses. She is 14 years old. I have been to this village 20 times, and I wanted to go back one more time to say good-bye, but when it came time to say good-bye, I could only cry. Moxie's family have about 10 horses because in the summer they have 500 head of cattle that they have to move everyday. They try to immitate the way the buffalo used to graze, not eating all the grass, but moving slowly all day long, leaving plenty of grass and fertalizer so the grass grows right back. I hope you get a horse to ride when spring comes.
